Rail - Everett Storage Tracks - Complete January 2013

New storage tracks long enough to accommodate 7,000-foot-long freight trains will reduce congestion on the main line by minimizing the time trains arriving and departing the yard block the main line.

Relieves Congestion
Amtrak Cascades will be able to move past the yard with less interference from freight operations. The new storage area for freight trains will create room for Amtrak Cascades to add more daily trains and will shorten travel times through the congested rail corridor.
